Ask the bandmaster/pipemajor about which tunes they played, or the guys running the mp3 player, and go download them. Most are popular, such as: The RCAF March past, The Skye Boat Song (which is a depressing tune to start with!), The CF March past. If you're a Navy platoon, they probably played Hearts of Oak. Regimental tunes for the Infantry. And the list goes on.

Many military bands have produced albums. Shops like HMV and Sunrise, etcetera, should have a few. They used to, at least, but I have not looked recently.
Canadian military band CDs should be available from unit kit shops or the bands themselves as well.
400 Squadron's Pipes and Drums should still have copies of ours available. See http://www.400pipeband.com/400about.htm
According to http://www.theroyalcanadianregiment.ca/, the Regimental Store's page is "coming soon".
A web search for other Canadian units may turn up other leads.

Check out the band of the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards. They have both pipes and drums and brass and reed military music and despite being from the UK play many of the same tunes you'd hear here (as many of our mllitary musical traditions come from the UK).

Thanks for the cue about theese translations.
I also think that 400 Squadron would be a great start. I realy hate bagpipes but I realy love them when it sounds a bit "dramatic" like the one they do in the Army. This is not my kind of music but I realy like when it takes your hearth away and makes you feel something. Like sadness. I hate seing that one of our soldiers died. Makes me cry all the time even if I am a strong guy.

Gotcha.
As was mentioned, 400 Sqn Pipes and Drums are good, not many other CF military pipe bands have widely available CD's (although most Militia bands have a CD or two available through their kitshops). As far as Canadian pipe bands go, Simon Fraser University are probably the best known (heck, the best period) and have great music.
The UK has many good military pipe bands that are professional bands (i.e. pipers are full time players) and have access to money and recording resources not available to most CF bands. As I mentioned previously, the Royal Scots Dragoon Guards fit the bill of 'dramatic' military pipe music.
There's lots of great pipe music out there with a 'military' or 'dramatic' sound to it, just gotta look. I've got reams of it if you're looking for some ideas.

John Newton
John Newton was born in Wapping, London, in 1725, the son of John Newton a shipmaster in the Mediterranean service, and Elizabeth Newton (née Seatclife), a Nonconformist Christian. His mother died of tuberculosis when he was six. [1] Newton spent two years at boarding school, and at the age of eleven he went to sea with his father and sailed with him on a total of six voyages until the elder Newton retired in 1742. Newton's father had planned for him to take up a position as a slave master at a sugar plantation in Jamaica. He did become a Captain of a slaveship, but in 1743, he was pressed into naval service, and became a midshipman aboard HMS Harwich. After attempting to desert, Newton was put in irons and court martialled. The captain was determined to make an example of Newton for the rest of the crew. Thus, in the presence of 350 members of the crew, the eighteen year old midshipman was stripped to the waist, tied to the grating, and received a flogging of ninety-six lashes, and was reduced to the rank of a common seaman. [2] Following that disgrace and humiliation, Newton initially contemplated suicide, [2] but he recovered, both physically and mentally, and, at his own request, he was placed in service on a slave ship bound for West Africa which eventually took him to the coast of Sierra Leone. He became the servant of a slave trader, who abused him. It was this period that Newton later remembered as the time he was "once an infidel and libertine, a servant of slaves in West Africa." Early in 1748 he was rescued by a sea captain who had been asked by Newton’s father to search for him on his next voyage.
